Asteroid 2024 Pt5 Orbit. Scientists have discovered a small asteroid, 2024 pt5, which was recently pulled closer to earth's orbit by gravity, sparking interest from nasa for further tracking. Based on 122 measurements of its orbit across 21 days, 2024 pt5 is predicted to be transiently captured by earth again in 2055, offering three decades in which to plan your ideal observations.
Earth’s gravitational pull will snag 2024 pt5 between september 29 and november 25, before it escapes the planet’s orbit and continues its journey around the sun. 3d visualization showing the orbit of asteroid (neo) 2024 pt5 with respect.
